Book excerpt: Life has a tendency to make its own, unexpected rules. Take, for example, the beautiful Edna who literally disintegrates in front of her stunned calculus classmates; Riley, whose 8-year-old daughter decides to perform surgery on him; Clark, the gifted pitcher who defies death and continues throwing fastballs after being impaled; Lumpy, the proud father who is forced into slavery by park animals; Lucy, the neurotic teenager whose head of long hair becomes her deadliest enemy; Porky, the unfortunate donkey man; Little Boy, a biomechanical child who purchases part of his mother at an inter-dimensional pet store; Jack, the mild-mannered stepfather whose mind snaps during Thanksgiving dinner; Draden, Mike, and Human, three reincarnated kings who must defeat an army of indestructible beasts to gain immortality. From captivating tales of overcoming impossible odds, to fantasies involving mythical beasts and powerful wizards, and to grisly horror that depicts surreal entities, Max Poppit Stories from Earth is a collection of literary indulgence that defies routine story lines, disallows predictable endings, and is a riveting page turner that will leave the reader screaming for more.
